Pontarddulais Walking Club was
established on the 13th of September 1997. On that day only 2 intrepid
walkers turned up to walk. Since then, however, the group has grown
and has gone from strength to strength.

Report blocked paths to the
relevant local authority. Inform also the local community council. Most
are very helpful and are keen to reopen their footpaths. Local authorities
responsible for maintaining Public Rights of Way can be contacted on the
following addresses:

Membership is
£6.00. Newcomers are welcome including visitors but those who walk
regularly are expected to join the Club.

Carn Ingli, Mynydd y Preseli

We have
approximately 50 members and walks are held every weekend. We have between
15-20 members that walk regularly and we visit all parts of South Wales
including the southern areas of Mid Wales. We are fortunate that Gower is
on our doorstep and the Brecon Beacons and
the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path are only an hours drive away. We visit
North Wales every year. We have also visit Ireland, Cornwall, Devon,
Dorset, the Cotswolds and
the Lake District.

LOST WAYS

Unfortunately, during the
early 1950s many rights of way were not added by parish councils - for
whatever reason - to definitive maps (Countryside Act 1949). These
paths are now regarded as 'lost ways'. However, existing footpaths can
still be added to these maps
and this process is known as a 'modification order'. After January
1st 2026 it will no longer be possible to add any more paths to definitive
maps. Unlike Wales, local authorities in England are currently researching
into lost ways. For any queries regarding a 'lost way' or any other
footpath contact the relevant county council.
